MEET THE PRODUCER | As a concept, Unblended exists to make coffee farming an exciting and meaningful industry for young producers in Colombia (and hopefully, all over the coffee-growing world). As green buyers, they partner with existing coffee producers at home (see: Sebastian Ramirez, the Trujillo family, Jaime Lopez, and others) and connect them to movers and shakers in the roasting industry in the US, helping to forge more meaningful relationships between producers and patrons. 

To further this initiative, Unblended has spearheaded the Young Producer Program in Colombia, a cooperative program that pairs seasoned producers with young mentees who are pursuing their passion for specialty coffee. This initiative allows young producers to learn from and experiment with successful coffee farmers, blending their small, experimental batches with larger lots from the mentors' farmers - which ensures those experimental lots have a home. That resultant blend is known as the Development Project, and we are so honored and excited to share it with you today!

TRUST THE PROCESS | This blend is composed of several smaller and larger lots from both young producer enthusiasts and storied coffee farmers alike, each of which underwent various iterations of a natural processing method. 

TAKE A SIP | With big aromatics that remind us of lemongrass and hops, we opted to roast this coffee a liiitttllleee longer than our usual protocol to ensure that it is approachable and seeker-friendly. The result is a cup that's both fruity and sweet, round and full - like mixed berry compote paired with dark chocolate. Complex and crowd-pleasing, this blend is a celebration of the excellence that already exists in specialty coffee production in Colombia, and also an enthusiastic high five to the next generation of producers in that region - and around the world.
